THE AMERICAS CUP.

rritIe IN be the Americas Cup Defender
Aoajnst the Scotch Thishe-'A Cleah
Race and Gallant victory
Nvw YORK, Sept. 1.-THE third attempt
A. hova trial race to choose the abiest
Yacht as the defender of the Americas 5
cun. against the Scotch Thistle, resulted
IN one of the finest contests ever seen III
these waters. There was a strong VIM
blowing from north to northwest all day'
roocbinp a velocity of thirty miles an
hour The race was over the triangular
course of thirty-eight miles. The Volun-
toor had the best of the race almost
throughout. except during the
run of ten miles to leeward' "nen
the Mayfower beat her opponent
The outcome of the race makes tne
Volunteer, the defender OF the cup Inc
Tbistle was out with the two racers, but
she was not given chance to display her
snoed until after the first half OF the race,
when she was evidently sailed for all she
was worth, with a foul bottom, and was,
therefore, outsailed by both the Mayhower
and the Volunteer. The official time is as
follows: su.uh
volunteer - Start, 11:11:57; finish,
3 ;32: :86 1-5; elapsed time, 4;2O:49 10.
Mayfower-11:14:43; 3:5l:34 40; 4:oo'ol
40
The Yachts started with twenty-five
mile breeze over their stern, the volunteer
going right out and leaving the New YORK
boat very rapidly. The Thistle was mile
awav on the course when the Others got
under way. She had on only Jlb be-
sides her mainsail at first, but later ran
ont her spinnaker and working
topsail. After this she was
practically in the race. The yachts
rounded the first stake as follows: Vol
unteer. 12:17:43; Mayfower, 2:2O:7 I;
Thistle, 12:2O:3O. They then pointed for
the Jersey coast. The Thistle hauled
down her topsail and housed her topmust.
The Mayfower pulled down her club top
sail. but the Volunteer held her big top
sail aloft. The latter boat kept her lead
and headed out for the tug Haviland (the
first stake) at u 17:43, followed by the
MayAower at 12:20:07 and the Thistle at
/ :0S.
The Haviland was rounded the second
time as follows: Volunteer, 1:5O:32; May
flower, 1:56:1S; Thistle, 1:57:13. The Vol
unteer so far had outpointed and outfooted
her rivals. Her run home showed that
she was even capable of doing better The
wind was so strong as to prevent her car
rying club topsail, yet she left her sister
and third cousin so far in the rear that
the Judges decided that there was no need
of another race to ascertain who should
meet the Thistle, and picked her out in
their minds before two tacks had been
made.
The Thistle being outponted and gen.
orally run away from by the Mayiower,
pluckiy stuck to the course, and finished
2:3 is after the Mayfower.
Every one Of the racers got grand
salute from the big feet of steamers and
Yachts of every description, which
lowered about the course from start to
finish. The Volunteers victory over the
Mayfower was by 1872 3-5. As the Thistle
sailed by the Volunteer after the finish,
her crew gave three cheers for the victor,
which were cordially responded to. After
the race the committee officially an
nounced that the Volunteer had been SO
lected as the defender of the cup.

Tbere is confined in the county ia

There is confined in the county jail here,
says the Vicksburg Herald, a small negro
boy not more than ten years of age, named
DAVE Lunden, who came from Davis Bend,
and has been adiudged insane. Little
DAVE, while perfectly harmless, sits in a
corner of the Jail hall all day with his
hands locked around his knees, and rocks
himself to and fro from the moment he
is allowed to leave his cell until he is re-
placed there by his keepers. He never
seems to tire, and, gazing straight before
him with wild, idiotic look in his eye, he
keeps up his singular motions. This Pc
culiar freak has been watched by Jailer
Terrell, and never for a moment does he
lose his steady stroke. 1t is accounted
for as one of the freaks Of crazy people
which, in this instance, makes Davie
guilty Of perpetual motion. Could not

THE DEADLY CIGARETTE.
Some of the Nasty Substances Used In It'
Composition.


Cigarette smoking is pernicious prac-
tice, and is doing much toward enervatlng
our growing youth, says the Chicago
Journal. 1t has led to the discovery and
recognition by tbs medical profession OF
the "tobacco heart" disease hitherto
unknown, and entirely attributable to in
haling the fumes of the burning tobacco,
thing which every true cigarette smoker
does. l think that if people who are adj
dcted to this habit only knew the COM
nosition of their favortes they
would hesitate about continuing TO
undermine their constitution by indulglng
in them. In this connection, feel it only
right TO seK shat know of this matter.
| have frequently noticed the little Italian
street arabs, who are such a common sight
on our streets, and who re never seen
without a basket, which ,hey fill with
garbage of all kinds CLEANED from the
refuse-barrels in alley-ways, and more
particularly in front of the South Water
street stores. say l have frequently
noticed them engaged in picking up cigar
stumps or "snipes" frop the sidewalks
and cutters. They will dive into cigar
stores and saloons and thrust their
filthy little brown paws into tho
spittoons in search Of their booty. For
long time l imagined that this collection
was made for the purpose of supplying the
paterfamilias with his tobacco, but on
making inquiries of one of the children,
she informed me that the stumps werc first
dried, then sorted according to colors, and
when a sufficient quantity has been stored
up they are shipped away and manu-
factured into the 'pernicious soul-destroy'
ing cigarette" of which there are so mary
ardent lovers. This is an absolute fact,
and l hope it will teach young men to Ne
wary as to the quality of cigarettes in
which they indulge,

A Few Words About the Human Hog Tha'
Picks His Teeth at Table.

A Few Words About the Human Hog That
Picks His Teeth at Table.
If it is ill-bred and vulgar for man
at restaurant table to rattle his knife
and fork and other table-wear, it is beastly
for him to pick his teeth there, says
writer in the Chicago Journal. Twenty
wears ago it was well understood by all
decent people that the teeth were not TO
be picked or sucked in sight of other peo-
ple, let alone at the table. But the intro
duction of the wooden tooth-pick has
changed all this. This highly useful little
article is almost omnipresent. 1t has an
honored place on the counter of the hotel
and restaurant Office, and on the very DIN
ner-table itself. Encouraged by its pres
ence, the human hog, while waiting
for his second course, seizes
tooth-pick, and whiles away the
moments in excavating the debris OF his
first course from his hollow teeth. In
reaching his back teeth, sometimes tooth
pick and tkumb and forefinger disappear
in the hole in his countenance. There is
no help for it now, but the time will come
when the police will be rung in to arrest
such a creature. To the shame of sucL
men, will inform them that l have been
told by physicians that the human mouth,
as it now exists, is the most revolving part
of the human body. Nature made it a
beautiful feature; but dyspepsia neglect,
decay, whisky and tobacco have made it
holy horror! Unless one wants to make
oil around him sick, let him not force on
them any imagination of the inside OF his
mouth. Any tinkering of the teeth, or
any sound of suction in the mouth at a
dinner table justifies lynch law.

COMMUNICATION.

Could not the farmers of .Jerauld
county make it pleasant and profitable
to hold meetings once Il week in each
school house to discuss the question:
what can the farmers do to remedy the
wrongs that take from him the prod
ucts of the labor OF himself and his
family for less than cost. How they
can manage by cooperation, incorpora-
tlon or otherwise to insure a reasona-
bic price at all times for their grain,
stock and other produce. Are not the
laws of our country to blame for allow
ing the products Of labor to be legally
stolen from the producers? Wherein
are Dakota laws wrong? Ought not
the farmers andlaborers to join togeth-
er and organize a new political party :?
Let the young folks attend these and

for it.
Now this office has many patrons,
large mails every day, but does not
pay us much per month as does anyone
of the business men at the Springs fur
nish to his office. For the month OF
October, this Office paid 1891, over one
fourth being our own postage.
For November it paid $500. Now
if this office is of benefit to you, please
try to give us all your patronage. We
mean every letter. Ii you wish to
mail your letters at the Springs or
other Offices, have your mail come to
the Office where you mail your letters,
giving the postmaster the trouble
where you give your money and all
will be better served. If yen have
been scrupulous about mailing your
mail at your home Office, hope you
will so continue. If you have not
done so you will confer a favor by
beginning at once. Hoping our pa
